The New CRHS Health Academy

Throughout Citrus County High Schools we have several “Schools within a School”.  The Citrus County High Schools programs include:  Business Academies at Citrus High School (CHS) and Crystal River High School (CRHS), Drafting Academies at CHS, CRHS & Lecanto High School (LHS), Web Design Academies at CHS, CRHS & LHS,  Art Academy at LHS, International Baccalaureate at LHS,  Environmental Science Academy and the CRHS Health Academy.

At the CRHS Health Academy the objective of the Academy of Health Careers is to encourage students to become health care workers and to assist students into post-secondary education in the pursuit of the health care career of their choice.

CRHS Students successfully completing Health Science 1, Health Science 2 and Nursing Assisting 3 with a grade of C or higher are eligible to take the Florida State Nursing Assisting Certification Test to become Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA). In addition, the Academy also has a Dental Assistant Program.

The CRHS Health Academy success continues to grow each year and, as a result, has outgrown the old CRHS buildings.  During the CRHS campus Phase II construction and renovation the old administration building has been completely remodeled into the new CRHS Health Academy.  This new facility has state of the art classrooms, examination and treatment rooms, dental labs and so much more.  Below is a sneak peak of the new facility that is not yet open.
